My name is Alex. I used to be [[User:202.10.89.28|this guy]], but having [[Hindu-Arabic numeral system|Hindu/Arab characters]] in my user name was annoying. |
|||
I mostly edit Balkan-related articles but I do edit other articles, so I'm not completely useless. |
|||
==Languages== |
|||
{{Babel|en|mk-4|fr-2|rup-1|}} |
|||
I can speak [[English English]], [[American English]] and [[Australian English]] fluently. |
|||
I would be a native speaker of Macedonian (mk-N) but I forgot all big/technical/uncommon words (the ones that aren't borrowed from English). |
|||
I am currently learning French. |
|||
I could have learned [[Latin]] and would be able to understand more [[Serbian language|Serbian]] but I can't tolerate declension. |
|||
I can understand Aromanian more than I can speak it. I can't write in it because I haven't mastered the [[Aromanian alphabet|main system]]. The current system uses a cross between the Romanian and English orthographies (which can be annoying). It's actually just the most common of various systems: Some people use the [[Romanian alphabet]] (which makes people think it's [[Romanian language|Romanian]]) and some people use the [[Greek alphabet]] (which makes people think it's [[Greek language|Greek]]). The latter is quite confusing because the Greek alphabet is inadequate for a Latin-derived language (which is why the Romans created the [[Latin alphabet]] in the first place). |

Latin: Can read most [[Romance languages|Romance]] languages other than [[Catalan alphabet|Catalan]] and [[Portuguese alphabet|Portuguese]]. [[Germanic languages]] other than [[Dutch alphabet|Dutch]] are pretty easy as well. Can read [[Slovenian alphabet|Slovenian]], [[Gaj's Latin alphabet|Croatian]], [[Czech alphabet|Czech]] and [[Slovak language#Alphabet|Slovak]] but not so great with [[Polish alphabet|Polish]]. Can also read [[Turkish alphabet|Turkish]] and [[Albanian alphabet|Albanian]]. |
|||
Cyrillic: Complete understanding of [[Macedonian alphabet|Macedonian]] and [[Serbian Cyrillic alphabet|Serbian]]. Can easily read [[Bulgarian language#Alphabet|Bulgarian]], [[Belarusian alphabet|Belarusian]], [[Ukrainian alphabet|Ukrainian]] and [[Russian alphabet|Russian]]. Not good with non-[[Slavic languages|Slavic]] that use Cyrillic. |
|||
Created two Cyrillic alphabet variants of my own: [[/Polish Cyrillic Alphabet]] and [[/Aromanian Cyrillic Alphabet]]. |
|||
IPA: Pretty good with Slavic, Romance and Germanic consonant notation. Not so great with vowels. |

==What is Balkan Fever?== |
|||
[[Image:Balkan EU.svg|thumb|The best solution]] |
|||
Balkan Fever describes what happens when you put [[Albanians]], [[Aromanians]], [[Bosniaks]], [[Bulgarians]], [[Bunjevci|Bunyevs]], [[Krashovani|Carasovans]], [[Croats]], [[Gorani (ethnic group)|Goranis]], [[Greeks]], [[Istro-Romanians]], [[Janjevci|Janyevs]], [[Macedonians (ethnic group)|Macedonians]], [[Hungarian people|Magyars]], [[Megleno-Romanians|Meglenites]], [[Moldovans]], [[Montenegrins]], [[Pomaks]], [[Romanians]], [[Romani people|Roma]], [[Serbs]], [[Slovenians|Slovenes]], [[Šokci|Shoks]], [[Macedonian Muslims|Torbesh]] and [[Turkish people|Turks]] on a peninsula. Similar to [[Cabin fever]] and [[Cabin Fever (film)|Cabin Fever]]. '''Not''' similar to [[Saturday Night Fever]]. |
